在百年中國話劇的發展歷程中,戲劇期刊伴隨戲劇而生,成為推動中國話劇發展的重要力量。本文將中國近現代戲劇期刊的發展劃分為五個時期:1904年至1917年,文明戲時期;1918年至1929年,五四新劇時期;1930年至1937年6月,左翼戲劇時期;1937年7月至1945年,抗戰戲劇時期;1946年至1949年,即將迎來人民戲劇的時期。本文對每個時期的戲劇期刊發展之特點作出概括,對近現代的戲劇期刊的發展軌跡作出初步的描述,形成中國近現代戲劇期刊的小史。

Dramatic journals, as a companion to the development of modern Chinese drama during the1900 s, have been a major motivation to modern Chinese drama. This paper divides their development into five periods: the wenmingxi period(civilized drama) from 1904 to 1907, the May Fourth new plays period from 1918 to 1929, the left-wing drama period from 1930 to June 1937, the anti-Japanese war period from July 1937 to 1945, and the period of the dawn of the people’s drama from 1946 to 1949. This paper summarizes the development of dramatic journals in each period and tries to describe the trajectory of the dramatic journals in the modern period and to record the history of dramatic journals in modern China
